REVIEW Mr. Coffee One-Touch CoffeeHouse Espresso Cappuccino Latte Maker EM6701SS

[@jarosawszparaga5869]

This is the best instruction manual I've ever seen, and a course in making delicious coffee. You have a great voice. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland.

[@JustADad]

Wow, thank you! All the way from Poland, wow! I can't wait to visit someday!! thanks for the Visit!!

[@maruquelrivera3082]

I love how you explain everything not overstating just straight to the point love it!!

[@rupakam]

You are extremely detailed. Appreciate your time for us. It really helps.

[@JustADad]

Thanks for your support!! and your Kind Words!!!!! I am glad it helped. What is your favorite coffee?

[@CrankyGamersUK]

Great video of the machine , but a few pointers for the beginners here that I feel are extremely important. As someone who’s been making home coffee for over years with machines ranging from £20, all the way up to £400, I cannot stress enough these are to. So the amount of grounds and especially the “Tamping” is so very important and actually has a massive effect on the coffee taste and quantity (hence you speak of a bitter coffee, this basically means if bitter you have done something wrong with the Tamping) So measure the right amount, and tamp with quite a bit of pressure, this is the most important part regarding taste. And takes quite a bit of practice. So great rule of thumb, the tighter the Tamp, the more bitter the coffee. So like I say practice to get the right amount of grounds and the right pressure applies to tamping. You should get a serving of coffee running at about 26-30 seconds., to little or to long effects the taste of your coffee, it’s that simple. This part is something you should take care of as it’s what makes the actual taste, you should be able to drink a smooth rich espresso right out the machine when hey the correct amount and tamp correctly, otherswise you will get a bitter horrible coffee. Just spend time learning this part is how you turn a home Machine into and exceptable coffee machine. One final point as well, stirring at the end is something I’d never do, gentle stir to keep the froth, as you drink through the sweet frothy milk, again to make a shop bought taste. Hope I haven’t stepped on any toes here, but I felt I really had to mention the tamping and coffee it’s THE single main thing you need to get right, and I see far too many people moaning and complaining saying this like , eww it’s bitter, tastes horrible. It’s all down to the measurement and tamp pressure of your grounds. When you practice this you will be amazed at the difference, just try it, makes one tight and too much coffee, and make one loose and too little coffee… It’s that balance you need to get right, in time you will literally know what’s right for your machine, and all are different btw…. That’s why getting it right is important. Enjoy your coffee’s

[@JustADad]

Thanks so much for this great information. I have learned so much just from reading this. I am so glad you took the time to explain This in more detail than I ever could. That is why I love KZbin because the community really wants to help others. I will take what you say and learn from it and use it to teach others. Thank you!!!

[@CrankyGamersUK]

@@JustADad no worries glad I could help, feel free to use the info as well… 👍

[@kfdake]

@@JustADad the bitter taste can also come from waiting too long to drink it, or combining it with milk or water. once the shot turns black like that, from the honey brown color to solid black or dark brown, the shot has gone bad and will be bitter. shots need to be dumped into the milk within 10 seconds basically. with this machine it do that for you though.. though it seems to do the milk first and then the shots.. which is a bit backwards..

[@utewatchco1468]

Doesn't you comments regarding the tamping only apply to non-pressurized machines? On the pressurized ones if tap to hard the machine is not able to the water thru the grounds when they are tamped to compact.

[@gavin2352]

[@ChapterStackss]

Great video! I cleaned it, but ever since I used very finely ground espresso (different than what I normally use) it's been totally clogged. Do you have any tips? I'm sure it's the tiny hole you mentioned that is clogged.

[@JustADad]

Only thing is maybe up the grind size a bit.

[@blueyedmermaid1447]

Just so everyone knows you do NOT have to use a dark roast. I believe that is just a US thing. I lived in Italy for a few years. You can use any roast that you choose. Lavazza, which is an Italian brand, has different roasts for different level of taste. They have from Gold to Forte. My fave was Rosé which is a lighter taste and no bitterness. One of the best dark roasts is Café Nero. But we haven't been able to find it for purchase here in the states yet. You can purchase any bean flavor you choose, have it ground for espresso or grind it at home. I have a Crux grinder which does not heat the beans when ground. Café Bustelo (boo-stel-oh) is a very very bitter café and is better used in a Moka to make café Cubano. Or if you are like my husband who loves the bitterness then make your espresso. The way espresso (café) is supposed to be served is with a small glass of water you drink behind the café. That is the way that is served in any coffee bar in Italy. .. here's a funny little tidbit, in Italy, Cafe Americano is called dirty water. 🤣

[@MannyCornejo]

Great Video!!! Loved what you had to share, I've been a user since 2019. Where can I find a replacement Filter basket?

[@maria.3649]

Does this machine have any indicator when there is no water in the water tank?Thanks.

[@annas3116]

Hi there! I just got a brand new Mr. coffee one touch coffee machine. Woot! But for some reason when I make either a Latte or Cappuccino the drink isn’t HOT. It’s warm but not hot like how it should be. Any idea of what I did wrong ? 🤔 Do you think if I leave the machine on for at least 10 mins before I make a drink would help ?

[@JustADad]

You can preheat the mugs by placing it on top of the machine it has a warming plate. This can be a problem with these machines. my latte's are only about 135 degree when I am done making them. they cool off really fast.

[@annas3116]

@@JustADad Ahh I see! Bummer about the temperature otherwise not a bad machine. Happy holidays!

I saw at end of video you can add extra frothed milk with the manual button. I'm curious if that only works after making espresso? I would also sometimes just like to have a cup of coffee and add frothed milk and thought I could use that to add to my hot coffee I made. Your video was awesome!

[@JustADad]

Awesome!! thanks for the tip!

[@brianm2881]

I have a question about this machine: when you pull a double shot of espresso, does the machine have any way of sensing how much liquid it has passed through the grinds or does it just pull a shot for 15 seconds or whatever and then whatever's in the cup at the end is what's in the cup? I've seen some videos of these automatic espresso machines where they dump out a single shot of espresso in about 4 seconds, and I know nothing about coffee, but I don't think that's supposed to be right.

[@JustADad]

These are very basic machines that just have a timer once the time is up then it stops.

[@brianm2881]

@@JustADad Thanks for the reply, but I think there might be a bit more to it than that because in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrXpJeEqJiLarM They make a large latte on the same machine (rebadged as the Breville One-Touch for the European market) and the espresso is pulled in about half the time it is in this video, so I find that puzzling.

Costco is selling this unit and it looks exactly the same but they have a different model number BUMC-EM7000DS. I'm curious if this is the same machine with just a different model number exclusively for Costco. And they are selling it for $159 includes $60 off. It sounds like a good deal.

[@JustADad]

Yeah they do that alot. they don't want to compete price or price. so they will change the looks or one thing and call it another model. I see this alot between Amazon and Walmart.

[@rebooted001]

does it have plastic parts ? does the coffee taste plastic ?

Am I supposed to empty my milk out of the machine before I turn the knob to clean the frother? or do I leave it empty or put water in it so it can be cleaned. Im confused.

[@JustADad]

leave milk in machine and turn know to clean , this will rinse the wand so you can put the container in the icebox

[@DiannaAtherton]

It is worth any mess you might make. Love mine. Also after placing espresso I do not tap it down tightly. I find that by taping to tightly not all espresso gets exposed to hot water as it drops.

[@JustADad]

Thanks for Sharing

[@Zberja]

I bought this and the espresso is not coming with the crema - i thought its because a have very fine grounded coffee but you use also a fine coffee - i really dont know where the problem is

@@JustADad Thank you very much for the answer

[@eunicebrothers1950]

Thank you for your detailed review, I so appreciate ALL your videos. They are always so comprehensive. I have a small Delonghi right now. But the portafilter is really small, even for the double shot. I read that in order to make a decent cup of espresso, it needs 16 to 18 grams of espresso ground to 2 ounces of water. Unfortunately, the double shot portafilter for the Delonghi only holds about 14 grams of espresso grounds, so my coffee is either very small or if I use just a bit more water then it is very weak. I’m really interested in the Mr. Coffee but am concerned if the portafilter holds enough grounds. Would you happen to know how many grams of espresso grounds the double portafilter can hold? Thank you so much for your reply in advance.

[@buzhidao11]

Excellent video! Thank you. My water tank keeps leaking after sitting for hours…always see water around in the afternoon or evening. Any advice? FYI it is brand new. Thanks

[@JustADad]

Thanks for watching and your kind words. make sure the water tank is sitting down all the way and nothing is between it and the machine. They should not leak so you might need to take it back.

[@Lightning_Bolt_Clips]

Are you able to use it without the milk, just the coffee? And is this better than a bean grinding coffee machine is your opinion?

[@klaudiakoza6552]

Yes, you’re able to use it without milk as well. You would just need to hit the espresso button. You can make one or double shot espresso and just add more hot water to it separately to make a cup of black coffee. Hope it helped!

[@klaudiakoza6552]

and the milk reservoir is removable so you don’t need to use it at all. However, Mr Coffee has other more affordable options for coffee lovers who enjoy coffee without milk so I recommend doing some research and finding better product for your preference

[@tonywebber4361]

I've had a few coffeemakers over the years. This has outperformed them all giving perfect coffee. However, mine has suddenly stopped working... once it warms up I get three flashing lights and the machine will do nothing. fyi they are the lamps for large espresso, large latte and large capuccino. this happens most times I turn it on, but occasionally just the large and small capuccino lamps flash. Before this it has made delicious coffees every day for 15 months, and has had regular cleaning. Is my machine dead or is there a factory reset?

[@JustADad]

have you ever descaled it.

[@burgruk]

Just finished watching your cleaning video, watched this recommended just cause I wanted the satisfaction of hearing someone else have praise for this cool machine. ...what I didn't expect was to see and discover that I could have lifted the lower metal plate to a higher position this entire time.

[@bryanirvine6169]

I've used two machines like this now - pressurized baskets and automatic frothing. These things are good for breaking into the espresso at home market. However, after getting a machine like the Breville Bambino, I have learned the true limitations of these cheaper home epsresso appliances. The baskets are smaller, so you don't get the full flavor, and it froths wrong - you usually end up with a lot of big bubble foam with heated milk, instead of true microfoam. These are OK to start with, but if you can afford it, move on.
